New Losi dirt bike.

[Senton_Prime]

I'd prolly get one and shelf it.. seems like one of those collectors!!

 

[Hammer Down]

I don't get the hype of these bikes...I'd rather watch paint dry honestly.

I watched a video and had to turn it off after 25secs...yawn.

I had to say it, blown away by how popular these contraptions are.

Bring on the hate..I'm ready for you.

Different strokes for different folks I guess..

I'm thinking right before the Christmas rush or right after New Years would be the time to buy. By then all of the quirks will be known and hopefully work arounds or fixes will already be figured out by the first users.
I'm not opposed to waiting for a good sale either.

They will be back in stock for Black Friday, I doubt they will be discounted a lot as there is such high demand. My hope, they overestimate this time and will have too much and need to have bargain pricing.

They look a bit...rubbish tbh

Best thing I have seen all day.

A case of beer and a fifth of vodka later . . .

10-12 guys and can't keep up

Looks like a bit of a learning curve on a crowded track.

I’m hoping for a black Friday sale. Maybe I’ll be in a better position to pull the trigger by then.

Idk what it is about these darn bikes that really tickles my fancy. It’s just so vastly different than everything else I’ve got. Gotta keep it spicy!

I don’t care what anyone says.. I still want one!!

think it is ok going in a straight line and seems like a good jumper they just can't seem to get the turning right on these rc bikes and probably never will

I noticed in the above race vid that once they spread out and settled in the bikes did "okay". Tight turns and late breaking don't appear to be possible unfortunately which are hallmarks of motocross racing. Is what it is. I think Losi did a fantastic job with this, hats off for that.
I don't think rc bikes will ever really mimic the real thing, riding a motorcycle fast requires you to feel what is going on, as well as requiring riders physical input to make the bike do what we want it to. The gyro/electronics are good, but it can only do what it's programmed to do, it just lacks the human element that makes motorcycles unique IMO.

The more videos of this I watch, the less I want it.

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

Me want that but darn
I already have a project im working on
Looks like i need to move faster
This dirt bilke is freakin awesome

 

[CrashBoom]

Wow, Losi made a statement that demand was out of hand and it could be until winter that they catch up with the pre-orders. I would've never guessed.

 

[Hammer Down]

Hopefully they don’t think with such great demand they can inflate the price for round 2…
Otherwise I’m really gonna kick myself for not preordering immediately.

 

[CrashBoom]

Yeah, that's a good point. I'm thinking they won't want to upset things further, but I guess we'll find out.

 

[BashingBrian]

So the Losi Promoto is going to be the new PS5, no stock and over inflated prices if you can find one..!!

 

[ross_jsy]

The more videos I've seen from non RC industry "influencers" the worst this thing looks.

Prediction, loads bought into the hype after seeing a few early videos, outstripping supply. Losi are going to try and catch up, at which point a lot of people will have seen enough and changed their mind.

I might be wrong, and there's clearly enough people in this thread still excited but I'm not getting something here
